For this week's second podcast review, Sara Clements, Giovanni Lago, and Alyssa Christian join me to review and discuss the latest film from Academy Award-nominated director Paul Greengrass, "The Lost Bus," starring Matthew McConaughey, America Ferrera, Yul Vazquez, and Ashlie Atkinson. Known for directing real-life survival drama thrillers, Greengrass co-wrote the screenplay with Brad Ingelsby, based on the nonfiction 2021 book "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire" by Lizzie Johnson, which recounts the story of the 2018 Camp Fire —the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews, and is now playing in limited release before it's available to stream on Apple TV+ on October 3rd. Please tune in as we discuss the direction, performances, writing, crafts, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
